2.Did Humans Lose Their Sixth Sense?
At one time humans also had this sixth sense,Rabinowitz said,but lost the ability,when it was no longer needed or used.
Joyce Poole is director of the Savanna Elephant Vocalization Project,which has its headquarters in Norway .She said the reports of Sri Lanka’s elephants in Kenya for 25 years.She said the reports of Sri Lanka’s elephants fleeing to higher ground didn’t surprise her.Research on both acoustic and seismic communication indicates that elephants could easily pick up vibrations generated from the massive earthquake-tsunami,she said.
People has also experienced this Firsthand.“I have been with elephants during two small tremors and on both occasions the elephants ran in alarm several seconds before I felt the tremor,”she said.
One of the worlds’ most earthquake-prone countries is Japan,where devastation has taken countless lives and caused enormous damage to property.Researchers there have long studied animals in hopes of discovering what they he81of feel before the earth shakes.They hope that animals may be used as a prediction tool.
Some US seismologists,on the other hand,are skeptical.There have been documented cases of strange animal behavior prior to earthquakes.But the United States Geological Survey (USGS),a government agency that provides scientific information about the Earth,says a reproducible connection between a specific behavior and the occurrence of a quake has never been made.
“What we’re faced with is a lot of anecdotes,”said Andy Michael,a geophysicist at USGS.” Animals react to so many things--being hungry,defending their territories,mating,predators--so it’s hard to have a controlled study to get that advanced warning signal.”
In the 1970s,a few studies on animal prediction were done by USGS,“but
nothing concrete came out of it,” Michael said.Since that time the agency has made no further investigations into the theory.
